VOL. 23—No. 25
v., NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1947
?^.b0'A'YTfeS3t"
ings That AftectEvery American
iat the government of the U. S. is making some
le gravest decisions in its history in the field of foreign
policy," is to repeat the obvious;. The Presidents' speech of
Msirch 12 was simply one more momentous step along a road
whose end no one can foresee. Mr. Truman put into somber
words a set of principles which, whether one likes them or
not, are clear, basic and unequivocal. There will be changes in
details—as, for instance, in how much money will be appropriated for the aid of Greece, Turkey or other nations. But it
seems certain that after the tumult and the shouting die, the
broad .principles will remain. It is worth noting that Senator
Vandenberg, the principal Republican congressional authority
on foreign affairs, approved the President's declaration.
It is plain that we are gradually assuming the position in
tfjjie world which was once held by Great Britain. England
Emerged from the first war string and rich, and regained her
traditional role as a world power on which the sun never set.
A victorious and proud France was her main ally in Europe.
The end of the "second war saw an incredible change. England
is weak and hungry, relying on American dollars for her sul>
Sistenee, and the greatest Empire the modern world has
known is in the weary process of disintegration. And little is
left of the old France.
As a result, there are just two vast forces in today's world
—--one is the United States and the other^is Soviet Russia.
Mr. "Truman did not speak the world" Russia, but" no one who
heard his voice or read his words could doubt what was in his
mine! and the minds of Congress. Greece is of little importance in herself, and few Americans can admire the present
Greek government. But-Greece is a buttress betwen Turkey
and'the Soviet Union—and Turkey controls the Dardanelles.
As Time has put it, "If- Turkey and the Dardanelles went, the
whqlg Middle East might slide into the Russian orbit." And'
that'would be an ominous victory for the" forces behind the
Iron! .Curtain. .---._ •-.. -.__... -...^- r. - _ _-.--.- -...-
Ifcas apparently the view of Mr. Truman and his advisors
that;-the time for firmness can no longer be postponed—---and
if this involves great, calculated risks, that is a chance we
ust take. To lose the peace could be as ultimately ruinous as
we had lost the war itself. To carry out this firm policy,
the "State Department has been measurably strengthened.
Secretary Mai'shall enjoys an almost legendary reputation.
In thie view of many, he is the ablest man in American public life. There is none .of the taint of the politician about him.
When he took over, he shook up the Department from top to
bottbm. Moribund officials, submerged in routine and red
tape,-were removed. Marshall made it clear that a man's joib
depended upon his efficiency and performance. He picked for
his closest advisors the best men available—such as John
Foster Dulles, who went to Moscow with him. It is said of
Marshall that he was the one wartime military leader who
refused to be moved by Winston Churchill when he thought
the Premier wrong. And he will not be moved by the Russians
or anyone else if he .thinks them wrong.
The difficulties that lie ahead are again illustrated by the
latest Moscow conference. Even the simplest questions involved interminable argument. The Soviet representatives are
invariably the objectors. We are as far from a German peace
treaty as ever. Many reasons are cited for the Russian attitude^ and some defend it. But, right and wrong to one side,
the-plain fact is that the nations which worked together effectively in war are not working together in peace.
Invariably Russian spokesmen say that American "intervention" in the, affairs of European nations such as 'Greece,
js n^'different than Russian "intervention" in the affairs of
ations such as Yugoslavia. The President's implied answer
is that there is a great difference between forcing a philosophy1 of government -down a country's throat, virtually at
bayoilet point, and aiding a "country in peaceably choosing the
government it wants, by. ballot. This could be debated indefinitely; but that is how it stands now.
The dangers that face us are many. And the top danger, of
course, is the possibility of a third war which might destroy
civilization and return the world to another dark age. Yet it
seems impossible to believe that the peoples of the world
could:;bring themselves to fight again in the foreseeable fu-
ture-^-or that the nations have the resources for war. The
great' question is what CQurse can be trusted to secure the
peace; and all the decisions are predicated on that.
In^the meantime, it is pleasant to record that the country
still seems unified in basic foreign policy. A recent Gallup poll
showed overwhelming sentiment in favor of resisting aggressive aims of Russia. Republicans and Democrat's alike sit" in
the high councils of state, and go as delegates to the conferences. We are making our stand on world problems plain to
all—and there can be no turning back.
ft
^Medical Care And The Public Health
. There is confusion in. many minds as to the relationship of
i medical care to the public health—and this confusion is undoubtedly responsible for considerable public support of incredibly costly government "health insurance" schemes which
would force everyone to pay for it whether the service was
desired or not. One^ authority described that relationship in
these words: "$fedfcar care is only a part, and by no.means
' that^nost important "part"* of 'the problem of health.' Medical
carets the care of the sick and injured. Health' consists in not
bein^* sick or injured, and depends almost entirely upon san-
itatifah, hygiene, safety factors, health education, good nut-
ritioicl, good housing, adequate clothing, sound working conditions, and the control, of patent medicines and the cults."

April Rally Galled
By Red Gross
Chairman Connelly
,' For the past six months, each month following has produced wackier weather than the one preceedirig-, e-^ch with its
oiwn peculiar twist. In almost all parts of the county unseasonably warm weather was the rule during* December and January. Then, just as eager crocuses were getting" set for a sun-,'
| tan'a 'blast of-,polar air from thel
Arctic regions, brought winter in'
earnest. It wasn't only here in
Stark County that it' happened but
all over the country. Blizzards in
England during Fehruary, Florida's sum failed to keep the.tourists warm the. last two weeks in
February, and the only portions to
escape the late winter cold were
west of the Great Divide, and some
parts of the Great Lakes region.
March 13 saw small boys-playing
marbles and flying kites, and little
girls skipping, rope, some home
owners even found time to trim the
hedges. The tenVperature rose to 50
degrees, the highest since January
30 but it was still a long way from
the 75-degrefe -mark record get ih
1927 and the 72 degree mark re*
ported March 13 last year. But it
was warm and~pteasaMt™and made
, folks begin to think of spring.
March 17 and stubborn winter
refused to budge covering the
shrubbery ith a skimpy coating of
new snow, the thermometer reached a low of 20 degrees making it

VOL. 23—No. 25
v., NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1947
?^.b0'A'YTfeS3t"
ings That AftectEvery American
iat the government of the U. S. is making some
le gravest decisions in its history in the field of foreign
policy," is to repeat the obvious;. The Presidents' speech of
Msirch 12 was simply one more momentous step along a road
whose end no one can foresee. Mr. Truman put into somber
words a set of principles which, whether one likes them or
not, are clear, basic and unequivocal. There will be changes in
details—as, for instance, in how much money will be appropriated for the aid of Greece, Turkey or other nations. But it
seems certain that after the tumult and the shouting die, the
broad .principles will remain. It is worth noting that Senator
Vandenberg, the principal Republican congressional authority
on foreign affairs, approved the President's declaration.
It is plain that we are gradually assuming the position in
tfjjie world which was once held by Great Britain. England
Emerged from the first war string and rich, and regained her
traditional role as a world power on which the sun never set.
A victorious and proud France was her main ally in Europe.
The end of the "second war saw an incredible change. England
is weak and hungry, relying on American dollars for her sul>
Sistenee, and the greatest Empire the modern world has
known is in the weary process of disintegration. And little is
left of the old France.
As a result, there are just two vast forces in today's world
—--one is the United States and the other^is Soviet Russia.
Mr. "Truman did not speak the world" Russia, but" no one who
heard his voice or read his words could doubt what was in his
mine! and the minds of Congress. Greece is of little importance in herself, and few Americans can admire the present
Greek government. But-Greece is a buttress betwen Turkey
and'the Soviet Union—and Turkey controls the Dardanelles.
As Time has put it, "If- Turkey and the Dardanelles went, the
whqlg Middle East might slide into the Russian orbit." And'
that'would be an ominous victory for the" forces behind the
Iron! .Curtain. .---._ •-.. -.__... -...^- r. - _ _-.--.- -...-
Ifcas apparently the view of Mr. Truman and his advisors
that;-the time for firmness can no longer be postponed—---and
if this involves great, calculated risks, that is a chance we
ust take. To lose the peace could be as ultimately ruinous as
we had lost the war itself. To carry out this firm policy,
the "State Department has been measurably strengthened.
Secretary Mai'shall enjoys an almost legendary reputation.
In thie view of many, he is the ablest man in American public life. There is none .of the taint of the politician about him.
When he took over, he shook up the Department from top to
bottbm. Moribund officials, submerged in routine and red
tape,-were removed. Marshall made it clear that a man's joib
depended upon his efficiency and performance. He picked for
his closest advisors the best men available—such as John
Foster Dulles, who went to Moscow with him. It is said of
Marshall that he was the one wartime military leader who
refused to be moved by Winston Churchill when he thought
the Premier wrong. And he will not be moved by the Russians
or anyone else if he .thinks them wrong.
The difficulties that lie ahead are again illustrated by the
latest Moscow conference. Even the simplest questions involved interminable argument. The Soviet representatives are
invariably the objectors. We are as far from a German peace
treaty as ever. Many reasons are cited for the Russian attitude^ and some defend it. But, right and wrong to one side,
the-plain fact is that the nations which worked together effectively in war are not working together in peace.
Invariably Russian spokesmen say that American "intervention" in the, affairs of European nations such as 'Greece,
js n^'different than Russian "intervention" in the affairs of
ations such as Yugoslavia. The President's implied answer
is that there is a great difference between forcing a philosophy1 of government -down a country's throat, virtually at
bayoilet point, and aiding a "country in peaceably choosing the
government it wants, by. ballot. This could be debated indefinitely; but that is how it stands now.
The dangers that face us are many. And the top danger, of
course, is the possibility of a third war which might destroy
civilization and return the world to another dark age. Yet it
seems impossible to believe that the peoples of the world
could:;bring themselves to fight again in the foreseeable fu-
ture-^-or that the nations have the resources for war. The
great' question is what CQurse can be trusted to secure the
peace; and all the decisions are predicated on that.
In^the meantime, it is pleasant to record that the country
still seems unified in basic foreign policy. A recent Gallup poll
showed overwhelming sentiment in favor of resisting aggressive aims of Russia. Republicans and Democrat's alike sit" in
the high councils of state, and go as delegates to the conferences. We are making our stand on world problems plain to
all—and there can be no turning back.
ft
^Medical Care And The Public Health
. There is confusion in. many minds as to the relationship of
i medical care to the public health—and this confusion is undoubtedly responsible for considerable public support of incredibly costly government "health insurance" schemes which
would force everyone to pay for it whether the service was
desired or not. One^ authority described that relationship in
these words: "$fedfcar care is only a part, and by no.means
' that^nost important "part"* of 'the problem of health.' Medical
carets the care of the sick and injured. Health' consists in not
bein^* sick or injured, and depends almost entirely upon san-
itatifah, hygiene, safety factors, health education, good nut-
ritioicl, good housing, adequate clothing, sound working conditions, and the control, of patent medicines and the cults."

By Red Gross
Chairman Connelly
,' For the past six months, each month following has produced wackier weather than the one preceedirig-, e-^ch with its
oiwn peculiar twist. In almost all parts of the county unseasonably warm weather was the rule during* December and January. Then, just as eager crocuses were getting" set for a sun-,'
| tan'a 'blast of-,polar air from thel
Arctic regions, brought winter in'
earnest. It wasn't only here in
Stark County that it' happened but
all over the country. Blizzards in
England during Fehruary, Florida's sum failed to keep the.tourists warm the. last two weeks in
February, and the only portions to
escape the late winter cold were
west of the Great Divide, and some
parts of the Great Lakes region.
March 13 saw small boys-playing
marbles and flying kites, and little
girls skipping, rope, some home
owners even found time to trim the
hedges. The tenVperature rose to 50
degrees, the highest since January
30 but it was still a long way from
the 75-degrefe -mark record get ih
1927 and the 72 degree mark re*
ported March 13 last year. But it
was warm and~pteasaMt™and made
, folks begin to think of spring.
March 17 and stubborn winter
refused to budge covering the
shrubbery ith a skimpy coating of
new snow, the thermometer reached a low of 20 degrees making it
